"Don't be a liar! Let's write clearly in black and white, the death and injury are at your own risk, I am kind enough to give him funeral expenses, if you are unwilling, then our cooperation will end here! ”

"I don't want you to cut down trees, and I won't carry you back, you can find a way to go by yourself!"

After that, Gu Hong was about to leave.

Bao Li hurriedly called someone to stop him, "Where are you going?" ”

"I tell you, don't do anything to me, if I report to the official, I'm not afraid of you!"

Hearing this, Bao Li hurriedly put down his hand and became flustered.

In a foreign land, he took several brothers with him, and one of them has died.

Yazhou is far away from Minzhou, if Gu Hong is unwilling to take them, how can they go home?

If they get into trouble and go to court, they are even more afraid!

"Don't go, let's discuss again!"

"What are you talking about? Three taels of funeral expenses, I won't give more than a penny! ”

"His daughter-in-law has a body!"

"It's his daughter-in-law, and the child isn't mine. If his daughter-in-law is beautiful, I can consider raising his daughter-in-law and children for him. ”

Xu Ling can see that this Gu Hong is simply shameless to the extreme.

The deceased was next to him, and in order to evade responsibility, he had already begun to play the scoundrel with a hippie smile.

Not to mention that Xu Ling was angry, everyone present looked at him with something wrong.

Xu Ling couldn't help but shake his head, no wonder the businessman has a bad reputation, it's because there are such scumbags in the ranks, right?

Bao Li was half angry with him, but for that faint possibility, he could only endure and beg with kind words.

Someone glanced at Xu Ling, continued to stare at the situation, and looked back at Xu Ling after a while.

Seeing that his old god was watching the excitement on the ground, holding a coconut and drinking non-stop, he didn't mean to interject at all.

I couldn't help but get anxious.

"You, who were still helping with ideas just now, why don't you speak now?"

Xu Ling glanced at the man, who was not tall, spoke official words that were not fluent, and was quite enthusiastic.

"Aren't I trying to figure it out?"

How can we bite a piece of meat from this merchant and make him pay honestly?

"Oh, you have to think of a way!"

Xu Ling pitied this person, but he crossed the river with no money and no power, and there was nothing he could do about such a shameless businessman.

Over there, Bao Li couldn't stand Gu Hong's attitude, but he still couldn't help but fight with him.

Gu Hong is a businessman, and he can't compare to Bao Li, a man who is used to working as a coolie, and he screams when he is beaten, but he always grits his teeth and doesn't say anything about losing money.

"Stop fighting! Even if you kill me, I won't be able to get the money! If I can't get agarwood, where can I get money! ”

Bao Li asked with red eyes and panting: "Then how can you lose money!" ”

"Unless you continue to cut down trees, cut down an agarwood for me, and give it to you when I sell it?"

Gu Hong is a speculator, he used to make a little money doing business in Minzhou, but the business is not big, and it is just hard money to mix around. Later, when he saw someone going to sea to make money, he also wanted to go to sea, and came to Yazhou by chance, knowing that the local spices were valuable, and those aboriginal wood needed to be bought with money, but if he found someone to cut down trees in the forest, he would make a lot of money.

So he moved his mind, went home and bought a boat, and deceived a few fellow villagers to sign a deed with them in advance, thinking that everything would go well, and he could turn over by this, who knew that something would happen when he first came.

Now that all the money on his body is smashed on the ship, and there is no sign of wood, how can he get the money for compensation?

Bao Li listened, but he was speechless, if Gu Hong was rich and couldn't come out, he would kill this villain and seek justice for his brother.

But Gu Hong has no money and is a scoundrel, what else can he do?

Bao Li thought about his dead brother, if he wanted to compensate him, he had to cut down a tree for Gu Hong first, he discussed with several other people, and the others were a little hesitant.

"What if he still lied to us? What's more, cutting down trees is so dangerous, in case we ......"

A trace of numb helplessness appeared on Bao Li's face.

"It's all my fault, listen to this villain's lie and bring you out of the village, otherwise, Da Zhuang will definitely be alive......"

"Brother Li, why don't you promise him, let him bring Da Zhuang back first, and then let's go home and ask him for justice!"

Bao Li and these people are the same age as the village leader, except for him, everyone else has already married, he usually works as a coolie at the Minzhou wharf, and it is also an accident to know Gu Hong, a fellow villager.

When the villagers met, Gu Hong invited him to eat a few times and helped him find a job, and he became familiar with it after coming and going.

He really didn't expect such a thing to happen.

The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time.

Bao Li understands the worries of the other brothers, they also have families and daughters-in-law, how can they harm themselves for the sake of being strong?

"Then let's do it first, if he refuses to give money after I go back, I will fight for this life to avenge Da Zhuang! My old lady, you can help me take a look at it twice! ”

As soon as these words came out, no one answered.

Only one person interrupted: "Brother Li, hurry up, that villain is going to run away!" ”

Gu Hong saw Bao Li and the others whispering to the side, sneaking around.

Bao Li hurriedly came to arrest him, but suddenly a man appeared in front of him and grabbed Gu Hong's collar, dragged him back, and lay him on the ground.

"Oops!" Gu Hong's tail was numb, he screamed in mourning, and when he saw that the person in front of him was not Bao Li, he said angrily: "Who are you!" ”

Xu Ling smiled, his face full of kindness.

"I'm really embarrassed, I listened to it for a long time just now, and I have a few questions in my heart, I really can't help it, I just want to ask you a few words, don't you mind?"

Gu Hong said angrily: "Could it be that you want to be nosy and give him the money for me!?" ”

Xu Ling still smiled, "That's what I mean." ”

Everyone was in an uproar, pointing at Xu Ling, and the more and more people watched the excitement.

Xu Ling asked Bao Li to move the dead Da Zhuang to a cool place first, and then found a handkerchief to cover his face.

Only then did he call Gu Hong and Bao Li to his side.

He first asked Bao Li: "How much compensation do you plan to ask for for your brother?" ”

Gu Hong heard Xu Ling say that he wanted to compensate Bao Li for him, so he was not in a hurry to run away at this time, and stood aside hesitantly.

To put it bluntly, they are fellow villagers in the end, and they know the roots, if he really doesn't care about the life or death of Bao Li and others, when they return home, it is estimated that Gu Hong will die socially in his hometown.

Unless he doesn't plan to go to the ancestral grave in his life, and he doesn't plan to mix in his hometown.

Bao Li hesitated for a moment, he didn't know how much to need, so he simply shook his head and said, "It's good if I can go back and explain to his family." ”

Xu Ling said with a smile: "For his family, I'm afraid that no amount of silver can buy his life." ”

"Let's settle an account, how much silver can your brother earn throughout the year?"

Bao Li scratched his head, "He has a field at home, and he usually goes out to sea with his father to fish, so he can earn food and clothing for a year, and I don't know how much." ”

That's the limit for ordinary people to live well, to have enough food and clothing.

Xu Ling said directly: "Then pay him thirty taels for his family, what do you think?" ”

Thirty taels is enough for a family to maintain food and clothing for three or five years, and two or three acres can be bought when buying land.

But Bao Li was still a little hesitant.
